Insulation and Exterior Complete!

We hit a slow patch in our diy build.  But the insulation and building exterior are complete!!

The interior foam insulation was blown in using closed cell around the windows and open cell on the remaining walls and ceiling. The insulation makes a great difference in temperature inside.




The exterior has been completed by Huff Welding. They installed the last  pieces on the porch.


We moved over the swing to the front porch and moved over the fire pit and made a sitting area.


Now the interior building for us begins! We will be installing plywood in the closests and painting them at a later date. A few concrete anchors have been installed and two doorway thresholds removed.


We are in the process of finding the tongue and groove boards for all the walls. Not an easy task when you need 6000sq ft of boards (approx 900 10' boards). Hopefully, we will have that figured out in the next week and the boards on order. Until then we have alot of wall anchors to install and many other little items. 

BTW: We squeezed in a "little" garden to take care of in our "spare" time. Oh, and we have fun doing some wild blackberry pickin'.
